GARMENT ATTACHMENT.

Applieationfiled July 2 0, 1915. Serial Nb. 40,851.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. LELANSKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county. of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Garportion and especially the portion of the undergarment below the waist line is'held in its proper position under all circum-, stances. These objects, together with other objects readily apparent to those skilled in the art, may be attained bythe construction illustrated in' the accompanying drawings, although the invention may be embodied in other forms, the construction illustrated be ing chosen by way of example.

In the accompanying drawing:Figure 1 is a side view of a shirt or unde'rgarment. Fig. 2 1s a similar view of the drawers. Flg. 3 1s a sectional vlew show 1ng the draw ers and shirt connected together, said con-. nection being belowthe waist line of both 7 undergarments. Fig. 4 is a front view showing the top orupper portion of the drawers and illustratingthe usual drawers supporting straps and a portion of one of the suspender straps placed in position to support the drawers.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.

v In the accompanying drawing, 1 repr sents an undershirt or the top garment of a two piece suit. .The particular "pattern of this garment doesnot enter into the present invention so far as its detail construction is concerned. 2 represents the lower or drawers member of the two part suit, which: within itself has no particular reference to the present invention and maybe of any style or kind. I

For the purpose of carrying out the ob- Specification of Letters Patent; V

.of the wearer,;but at the same time without Patented Feb. 22,1916.

jects of the invention above pointed; out the extreme bottom of the shirt or upper undergarment isprovidedzwith the pendent .tabs- 3, which are located upon opposite sides'of the garment. The lower member;

tending tabs, said tabs beinglocated below the top or waist line of the drawers, the position of the tabs 4: being such that when the tabs 3 and 4 are connected together,

preferably by buttons the top of the drawers will extend some distance above the points where the tabs 4 are connected that is to saythe drawers will extend upward to of the two part suit, to-wit: The drawers v are provided with normally upwardly exthe waist line but said tabs are not for-the purpose of giving anysupport to the draw.

ers above ,thepoint of the tabs 4:.

It will be understood that when the tabs 3 and 4 areconnected together the lower part of the shirt will be prevented from becoming twisted about the body of the wearer, holding the part belowthewaist llne from being rolled or gatheredtogether in a lump or roll at any one part, the

primaryobject being to hold the shirt or undergarment in even contact with the body producing any pull or strain upon the waist portion of the drawers I or lower member of 3 the two-part suit. f

In thef'drawings I have illustrated tabs secured to the drawers and also to the shirt.

This is preferable as it provides means for to T 1 a wider range of adjustment, but it will be understood that the objects of the present invention can be carried out by a different fastening" means provided the fastening means are located in the positions whereby the beneficial results'are produced, but re-.

such means should be and are to be located belowthe waist lineof both pieces of the {A two-part suit, by which arrangement the wearer experiences no annoyance or inconvenience' of any kind, resulting from strains brought about by the movements of the wearer. 3 j I Y It will be understood that regardless of the position of the wearer there is no direct pull or strain at the waist line. ofeither garment, but at the same time the portion of the garment below the waist line, to-wit: The shirt is held down without any referjgardless of the specific fastening 'means 1:

ence to the coupling of the two-part gara ment at the waist line. o

It will be understood that the fastening device secured to the drawers should be upon the inside so as not to interfere in any Way With the upper member of the two-part suit.

Having: fully described. my inventionwhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In' a two-part garment; the combination of fastening means secured to the extreme ment and below the Waist-line of said lower member.

In testimony that I claim the above, I

have hereunto subscribed my name.
